Are they telling us that women are gullible?
Barack can only DREAM of having arms like that. He lacks the testosterone to ever achieve such muscle mass.
I'd say it is next to impossible to save the nation from collapse when we have millions with this mindset.
Did she mention that Obama doubled the national deficit in 2.5 years that took 43 Presidents 250 years to create?
